Why Choose Fresh Coriander?
A little chopped coriander brings fresh flavour and colour to everyday meals. Scatter it over a curry just before serving, stir it through a salad, or blend it with green chilli and lemon juice for a chutney to serve alongside samosas and pakoras.
Key Features
- Fresh coriander leaves and tender stems for cooking and garnishing
- Also known as dhania or cilantro
- Bright, citrusy herb flavour
- Versatile ingredient for curries, chutneys, rice dishes and salads
How to Prepare and Use Coriander
Rinse thoroughly under running water before use and remove any damaged leaves. Pat dry and chop as needed. Use the leaves as a finishing garnish, and finely chop tender stems into chutneys, marinades or cooking bases.
For a simple green chutney, blend coriander with green chilli, lemon juice and a little water, then season to taste. Add mint if you prefer a mint-and-coriander version.
What Can I Make With Fresh Coriander?
- Green dhania chutney for snacks and sandwiches
- A fresh garnish for dal, chana masala and vegetable curries
- Kachumber salad and chaat
- Yoghurt-based raita and dips
- Herb marinades for vegetables, paneer or meat
- A finishing touch for biryani, pulao and soups
Storage Tips
Keep refrigerated and use promptly while the leaves are in good condition. Store with kitchen paper in a suitable container to help manage excess moisture, and discard any spoiled leaves. Avoid leaving washed coriander wet in storage.
For cooked dishes, washed and dried coriander can be chopped and frozen in small portions. Freezing changes the texture, so it is better suited to cooking than a fresh garnish.
